INTRODUCTION,
It may not be improper to state that this Brief Genealogy of
the Whipple family who settled in Rhode Island, has been the
result of at least twenty-five years of inquiry and labor, and the
travel of several hundred miles, amidst the cares and other duties.
of life.
Have visited the Genealogical and Historical Libraries at
Boston, the Athenaeum and Mechanics' Libraries of Providence.
Have visited many families , and copied from their records and
had many pleasant interviews with aged and intelligent persons,
from whom I have obtained much information. It was not my
intention, when I first commenced seaichmg for this record, to
have published it, but finding many of the connections very much
interested, as well as myself, I felt it a duty to publish what I
had collected, so that they might know something of their an-
cestors and also what I had gathered might not be lost. This
Genealogy, will, we presume, answer the questions which have
been asked by many earnest enquirers, in every family circle,
who inherit the name, " Who was the first Whipple and where
did he settle ? " A question, we believe, that has never been an-
swered by any published genealogy, showing the origin of the
families that settled in R. I., before this. A more extensive,
and perhaps a more acceptable genealogy might be gathered
and published than this, could a person have the time to devote
to it, and the patience to endure so laborious a task. Now,
trusting that what I here present, will, in some measure, be sat-
isfactory, I hope it may be found worthy of being preserved and
handed down to future generations. If so, the author will re-
gard his exertions as not without reward.

Errata
Since the publication of this Geneaogy the author, by further
inquiry has found some mistakes made by copying from records
which were incorrect.
David Whipple, mentioned on page 5 also on page 59, ( Second
Part) was not brother to John and Matthew who settled at Ipswich,
Mass., as supposed on page 5. He was the son or John who settled
at Providence, R. I. (See page 38.) He married Hannah Tower.
The statement on page 49 that David Whipple had a son Jeremiah,
born 1655. who married a Shippee, is not correct. He had no son
born at that date. He had a son Jeremiah born 1684, who married
a Shippee.
Samuel Whipple, mentioned on page 55, (Second Part) was son of
John Whipple, No. 1. His Wife's name was Mary as mentioned in
his will on page 56. He had two sons, Samuel and Thomas, and two
daughters, Abigail and Hope. The family recorded on page 13 as
his, is the family of his son Samuel who married Elizabeth Eddy. He
settled near Stoningfon, Connecticut.
John Whipple, page 51, born 1716, was son of William Whipple,
son of David Whipple who married Hannah Tower.
William Whipple, page 58, was not the son of David, No, 7, as
there recorded. It is not vet known who his father was.

GENEALOGY
MIS TOUT.
'E learn that, among the first settlers of New England,
there were several by the name of Whipple. There
were Matthew and John, two brothers, who settled at
Ipswich, Mass., about the year 1635, whose genealogy was
published by Oliver M. Whipple, of Lowell, one of their descend-
ants, in 1851.
There were also John, Samuel, David and Elezer, who settled
in Rhode Island. John and Samuel settled at Providence town.
David settled in the town of Cumberland,* and was perhaps
See O, M Whipple Genealogy page 12
brother to Matthew and John, who settled a Ipswich. Some
of the descendants of David, are living in that town and vicini-
ty. Elezer settled at Warwick, and his descendants are called
the Warwick Whipples.
I have not been able to learn that these four that settled in
Rhode Island were any related to each other. The descendants
from these six families, can be fonnd in all the New England
and many of the Western States, and in some localites are quite
numerous. It is stated in Mr James Savages' Genealogical
Dictionary, which gives a record of the first, second, and third
generations of the first settlers of New England, that John
Whipple who settled at Providence, is called John Provide
and John Whipple who settled at Ipswich, is called John Ip-
swich, to distinguish one from the other.
EXPLANATION.
It will be seen that this genealogy is divided into two Parts
-Part First and Part Second.
6
THE WHIPPLE GENEALOGY.
Part First is the genealogy of the male descendants of John
Whipple, the first of this name who settled in New England,
•f and the first who settled in Rhode Island. The male members
j c of his descendants are all numbered, so that any one can trace
J< out their pedigree, or line of descent.
FOREXAMPLE.
Benjamin Whipple, No. 24, was son of Benjamin Whipple
No. 20. who was son of Benj. Whipple, No. 6, and he was the
son of John Whipple, the first, who settled at Providence town
in 1659. /
Part Second will give a brief account of Samuel, David and
Elezer that settled in Rhode Island.
PART FIRST,
THE GENEALOGY OF CAPT. JOHN WHIPPLE, [WHO
SETTLED AT PROVIDENCE, R. I.,] FOR OVER TWO HUN-
DRED AND FORTY YEARS.
John Whipple, No. 1, one of the early settlers at Providence,
Rhode Island, was born in England about the year 1616' or
1*1, and died May 16th. 1685; aged about 68 years.
What part of England he came from is not known. History
states, that in 1630, (or there about) there were about fifteen
hundred persons landed in Boston from England and it is very
dent that he came about that time.
Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, states that John (Provi-
dence) Whipple, was in Dorchester as early a^ 1632, in service
to Israel Stoughton; and was then, perhaps, not over fifteen
years of age. He received a grant of land at Dorchester Neck,
in 163?.
THE WHIPPLE GENEALOGY.
He married his wife, Sarah, at Dorchester, about the year
1639 — 40. His wife was born at Dorchester, about the year
1624, and died at Providence town, 1666; aged about 42 years.
She could not have been over sixteen years of age when married.
What her name was beside Sarah, we have no knowledge. Mr.
Whipple and his wife, united with a church at Dorchester, in
1641. He was a house carpenter by trade, and owned a house,
and forty or fifty acres of land, near (what is now called) Ne-
ponset village. lie lived at Dorchester about eighteen years,
and during this time there were born unto him six sons and two
daughters.
He sold his house and land to James Minot in 1658, and then
removed to Rhode Island the same year, or the year after, and
settled at Providence, with all his family; and received appro-
priation July 29th., 1659. He had two sons and one daughter
born at Providence, having in all eleven children; eight sons and
three daughters.
The house in which he lived and died, was built most likely
by himself, as he was a carpenter by trade. The house stood
on the east side of the river, a little north of Star street, be-
tween North Main, and (what is now) Benefit street. Mr.
Dexter Thurber, (a very worthy gentleman, and citizen of Prov-
idence, who is now (1871) in the nintieth year of his age,) says
this house was standing when he was a boy. It was a large
two-story house, having a large stone chimney at one end, and
on the west side of the house there were steps leading up to it
from North Main Street. This house was standing as late as
about TO years ago, according as stated by som3 other of the
oldest inhabitants, now living at this date; and was called the
John Whipple house. He received a grant of and in 1660, at
Louisquisset. (See page 12.)
He also owned land in several other places a? is mentioned in
his will. In 1666 he took the oath of allegiance to King Charles
the second, with his oldost son, John. He was a member of
the town council of Providence in 1669. (See "Annals of Prov-
idence/ 7 page 664.) He received a license ;o keep a public

house in 1674 ; at which place the town elections were some-
times held. (See Providence Records.) In the year 1615
John Whipple was one among about twenty five others who
voted at a town meeting, to stay at Providence instead of going
Newport, in the time of King Phillip's war, a sit was a safer
place. The most of the inhabitants of the town, vailed them-
selves of the offer made to them by their friends at Newport,
and the town was nearly deserted. In about one year from this
time, in 1676, the town of Providence was attacked by the In-
dians. Many houses were burnt, and much damage done to
those who stayed at Providence. It is evident that Mr. Whip-
ple had to bear his part of the calamity, with the re.st. Mr.
Whipple lived in Providence about twenty six years from the
time he first came in 1658 or 9, up to the time of his death.
During all of this period he experienced many hardships and
privations, such as attend the first settlers of a new country.
But among the many losses he had to meet, there could be none
greater than the loss of his wife, who died in 1666, after living
only about seven years with him, after they first came to Provi-
dence, leaving in his care a family of several small children, the
youngest probably an infant. Mr. Whipple died May 16th,
16S5. He and his wife were buried near his house, in a garden
lot. But after several years they, and several others of his fam-
ily were taken up and buried at the North Burying Place, 'and
their tombstones can be seen thereat this date, (1873.)

* The WILL of Capt. John Whipple . Sen.
Be it known unto all persons to whom this may come, that I,
JOHN WHIPPLE, of the town of Providence, in the Colony of R. I.
and Providence Plantations, in New England, (Sen.) being in good
measure of health, and in perfect memory, upon consideration of
mortality, not knowing the day of my death, and having many chil-

among them concerning my worldly estate, do see cause to make my
will : and do hereby dispose of all my estate in this world, and do

THE SEVEN MILE LINE.
The seven mile line is the easterly line of the town of Scituate,
Glocester, and Burrilville. and westerly line of the towns of Cranston,
Johnston and Smithfield, beginning at South East corner of the town
of Scituate and from thence running a northerly course to the line of
Massachusetts ; and is said to be seven miles west of Fox Point: and
is called the Seven Mile Line.
Louisquisset or Louquisset is an Indian name of a place or brook
in the town of Smithfield, about four miles West from Pawtucket,
and easterly from the Lime Rock village. (See Annals of Providence
Page 568.
I, Thomas Arnold, and John Arnold, the 27th day of May, in
the year of 1685, did upon these solemn engagements declare that
they are witnesses unto the above will, and as these names are there
written they do own it to be their hand.
Shadrack Manton, the 27th. day of May, in the year 16?5, did in
the presence ot the Magistrates and. the rest of the Council, full and
truly declare that he is witness to the above Will, and that he with
his own hand wrote his name thereunto, as,

Joseph Whipple did upon the 27th day of May, 1685, in the pres-
ence of the Council, as he is Executor to the Testator, upon his sol-
emn engagement testify and declare that this is the last Will and
Testament of his deceased father as ever yet perfected as he know-
eth of ; and that he, when he made it, was of sound mind, and of a
good memory. —

Taken before us,
On the back side of this said Will, it is endorsed as follows : —
Thomas Olney, Town Clerk of Providence, in the Colony of Rhode
Island, and Providence Plantations, in New England, aged 53 years
or therabouts, testiiieth that on the sixteenth day of this instant
(May) John Whipple [Sen.,] of the aforesaid town of Providence,
sent for to speak with him.
•
This deponent saith he immediately went to him. The said John
Whipple [Sen.] Jien showed him this paper, and the writing which
on the o her side of this said paper is written, desiring this deponent
to peruse it. This deponent saith he did well peruse it; and having
well perused it, he asked the said John Whipple what his mind was
concerning the land which he in the said writing had disposed of to
his several sons; whether or no he did intend by that writing or Will
that the said land should be unto his said sons, their heirs and assigns
forever; or only unto his said sons for term of life? He immediately
made this answer. That however it was not worded in the said
writing, yet his mind and will was that his sons, each one of them,
12
THE WHIPPLE GENEALOGY.
should have said house and rights which he in the said writing unto
each one of them had disposed, to be unto them, their heirs and as-
signs forever, to dispose the same or any part thereof, at any time as
they see cause; and that the same was omitted to be inserted.'
That his son Jonathan should have one of his rights of land and
common, on the west side of the ''seven mile line," to be unto him,
his heirs, and assigns forever; and that that was his mind when the
said Will was written. However it was omitted in part by the scribe
of the said Will. There was an exception made only of thirty acres
of land to be his son John's, by him formerly given. That he owned
to be a mistake; and that the exception must be of sixty acres, which
formerly by deed of gift he had given to his son John Whipple; and
all the remainder of his said farm lying about Louquis^et should be
divided equally between his said three sons, [namely J Samuel, Ele-
zer, and William. This, saith this deponent, is truth ; and he took it
immediately from the Said John Whipple's mouth and worded it
down. And also that whereas the said Will expresseth a quarter
part of a right of common to ^ach of his three sons, [namely") Samuel,
Elezer and William ; he said his meaning: was and will, that it
should be so far westward as the "seven mile line," and no farther.
And that the said John Whipple was then, when he did declare this,
of a sound mind and perfect memory.

The following story is told of him by Samuel Thurber of Prov., which can be
found in the "Annals of Prov.,'' page G04. "Capt. Jabez Whipple, who lately died in
his one hundredth year, told me when a young man, he with several others kept a
pack of hounds, with which they would at times divert themselves in a fox-chase At
one time they followed one most all day. At evening they holed him, then made a
fire. at the mouth of the hole in order to keep him in during the night. They came
with tools for digging and found him suffocated, as they supposed. They took him
out, handed him from one to the other, with every appearance of bei'g dead. So they
threw him on the ground, when he instantly took to his toes and gave them another
day's chase.

in 1662, and died in Providence the 28th of August, 1746, aged
84 years. He was buried in the North Burying Place in Provi-
dence. He married Alice Smith of Providence, May 20th, 1681.
She was born at Providence in 1654, and died in 1731 aged
75 years. He took the oath of allegiance to King Charles the
Second, in May 1682, with his brother Jonathan. He was
Colonel of the Providence Militia^ which gave him the name of
Colonel Joseph. He was one of the Town Coun oilmen of
Providence, for twelve years ; most of the time from 1715 1o
172?; and Representative to the General iissembly for nineteen
\ ears, within the time from 1698 to 1728. In 1723, he gave
one hundred pounds towards building an Episcopal Church on
North Main street, in Providence, it being the largest amount
given by any one of those who contributed for its erection. He
gave the use of a lot of land at the north end of Benefit street
to build a school house on, and it was called Whipple Hall. It
appears that Mr. Whipple took a great interest in the the town
and State affairs, for their growth, education and prosperity.
And it is safe to conclude that he was a very popular man and
much respected by his townsmen.

JOHN WHIPPLE.
John Whipple, No. 171, (son of Colonel Joseph Whipple No.
8, the seventh son of Captain John Whipple, who settled at the
town of Providence,) was born at Providence, May 28th, 1685.
Moses Brown says he was a noted bone setter and amilitary
captain. He lived nearly opposite Thurber's shop on North Main
street, Providence, probably in the same house where his grand-
father first settled. In his life time he gave the Episcopal
Church their Burial Ground, He died in 1769 aged 84 years.
I have found nothing of his family except what is mentioned by
Moses Brown, who said he had a son Joseph.
JOSEPH WHIPPLE.
Joseph Whipple, (son of John Whipple No. 171, the noted
bone setter,) was born in 1734. He was educated at Cambridge
College, and then settled on a farm in Smithfield, R. I. He mar-
ried Sarah Mowry. He died in 1816, aged 82 years. His
wife died April 20th, 1820, aged 85 years.

He settled at Newport, R. I. He maided Sarah Redwood and
had one daughter, who married a Temple. He was Deputy
Governor of Rhode Island in 1743-44-46-51, until Nov. 2d ;
he then resigned his office of Deputy Governor on account of be-
THE WHIPPLE GENEALOGY. 41
coming insolvent. He was extensively concerned in the mer-
cantile operation, and the ruinous system of paper money was
working" its ruinous results. Among the victims of the crash
that had now come upon the colony, was Mr. Whipple, He
surrendered alibis property to the use of his creditors, and re-
ceived the benefit of a special act of insolvency. The terms of
his petition are pathetic; such, as under the circumstances and
in an age when failures were almost unknown to an honest and
honorable man in his position might well employ. When the
next Assembly met at South Kingstown, Nov. 2d, 1751, Mr.
Whipple resigned his office as Deputy Governor.
(The foregoing was taken from the history of Ehode Island.

to Schenectady, New York, where he spent a year in the study of
law in the office Henry Yates. His father being a personal friend

Providence with Hon. Samuel W. Bridgham, B. U., 1T94, and
was admitted to the Rhode Island bar in 1805. Rising rapidly
he very early in life gained a distinguished reputation especi il-
ly as an eloquent advocate. His mind was eminently fitted for
forensic oratory, and his career at the bar was nearly cooeval
with the rise of the great manufacturing interests of Rhode
Island. In the new litigation respecting water privileges to
v. hich these gave rise lie bore a very prominent part, and was en-
gaged on one side or the other along with the most eminent
'Counsel of New England in nearly every important suit relating
to them , many of which were finally decided only by the
Supreme Court of the United States. He was also frequently
employed by the manufacturers of Rhode Island to represent
their interests before committees of Congress. Though inti-
mately associated with men in public life in Washington, and
also largely conversant with the inner machinery of national
affairs, he always manifested an aversion to public station. He
regarded it, or perhaps the means by which it is attained, as in
some sense incompatible with that personal independence which
he prized most highly He often represented the people of Provi-
dence in the General Assembly; but though repeatedly urged
he was never willing to be a candidate for political office. He
once received the nomination of the whig party in the Legislature
for the Senate of the United States, but was not elected; a re-
sult with which he always professed himself to be entirely satis-
fied. His mind was comprehensive and vigorous, clear in its
perceptions and firm in its grasp of every subject to which it
was directed; and his oratory was singularly persuasive. He
wielded extraordinary power over assemblies of people and
several of the 'Speeches which he delivered to the assembled
citizens on important public questions have become historic in
the annals of the State, He continued in the professional prac-
tice in the courts of the State and the United States forty-five
years, and retired from the bar in 1850. Mr. Whipple wrote
frequently and with great force, for the press on the public
questions of the times. Several of his arguments in the
Supreme Court of the United States, and also of his political
addresses, have been published; and those with a Fourth of
July oration delivered in 1838, a discourse on the life and ser-

vices of Mr. Webster, and a pamphlet on the laws of usury in
reply to Jeremy Bentham, are the only publications that bear
his name. He spent the last four or five years of his life at his
country residence in Warwick. He received the honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws in 1844, a well merited recognition of
his eminent forensic abilities and fame. He married in 1809
Maria, daughter of Dr. William Bowen, of Providence, who died
in 1836; and in 1839, Ellen DeWolf, daughter of Jotham Post,
of New York,

*The reason for stating that William Whipple was the son of David
Whipple, No. 7, is a conclusion drawn from the folowing facts: His
discendants claim no connection to David Whipple who settled in
Cumberland, on the Blackstone farm. At the time that this William
Whipple's first child was born in (1715,) there was but two William
Whipples in the Colony of Rhode Island, viz: William Whipple No.
5, son of John (No. 1,) and William Whipple, No. (170,) son of David
No. 7. William Whipple, son of John was kffar advanced in age to
be married at that date, and have a family the oldest born 1715. There
is no record or evidence that he was ever married or had a family.
From these facts we are forced to conclude that William Whipple,
the father oi the large family, was the son of David No 7, as above
stated.

ABBAHAM WHIPPLE
Com. Abraham Whipple, was born Sept. 26 1*733, at Provi-

learn. He married Sarah Hopkins, sister to Gov. Stephen,
and Com. Eseck Hopkins. He had two daughters : one
married Col. E. Sprout, and the other married Dr. Corn-
stock of Smithfield. He went to sea at a very early age,
and when a young man he was appointed Captain of a mer-
chant vessel in the West India trade. In the old French war
he made himself very conspicuous as a bold active privateer.
He took an early stand against the encroachments of the
British Government upon the provincial rights ; and in 1*775
was appointed Commodore, aud had the command of two
armed vessels, fitted out by Rhode Island. During the Rev-
olutionary War he was a brave officer, and distinguished
himself in performing many bold and daring deeds. His
portrait as Commodore, in full uniform, can be seen in one
of the rooms of the R. I. Historical Society at Providence.
After the war was over he settled in the town of Cranston R. I.
near A. & W. Sprague's Print Works. At this place here-
sided until 1*796. when he and the rest of his family joined an
emigration company and removed to the state of Ohio and
settled near Marielta, and followed farming the rest of his
day. He died May 29th 1809 aged 85 years.

SAMUEL WHIPPLE.
*Samuel Whipple, Sen., one of the early settlers of Provi-
dence town was, most probably an Englishman by birth, as the
name is an English name. At what time he came to
this country is not known. It appears by his Will that he was
a man of considerable wealth, and had several children. It is
probable that he brought all of his family with him when he
came to this country. His oldest son, Samuel, was called an
alien in some business transaction in the town where he settled.
Samuel Whipple, Sen., died in a house on Abbot's Lane, near
North Main street, in Providence. The house is called the
Abbot house, which is now standing at this date, (1813.) He
died March 12th, 1110, aged 61 years, and was the first that
was buried in the North Burying place in Providence. Mr.
Samuel Whipple's wife, Mary, died December 14th, 1122, aged
83 years, and was buried at the same place with her husband;
also his two daughter, Abigail and Hope who were the first
and second wives of Eobert Curry, who is buried at their side.

*The grave of Samuel Whipple was dug by Epinetus Ballon, when
a young man at the age of about 18 years. This was told to Mr.
Dexter Thurber, of Providence, by a man by the name of Ball ou, who
was then an old man. He said he well recollected of hearing his
father, (Epinetus Ballou,) say that he dug the first grave at the North
Burying Place. He went and showed the grave to Mr. Thurber, who
soon after placed a marble slab, at his own expense, on this grave
and had engraved thereon to show that he was the first buried at
the North Burial Place, Providence.
